Pentacene andN,N'-ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI-C13H27) have been used as organic semiconductors for the fabrication of p-type and n-type organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). Both types of semiconductors are well-established and demonstrate good performance in single devices, but few competitive results have been reported in complementary circuits. In this manuscript, we show the fabrication, electrical characterization and simulation of an organic complementary inverter using pentacene and PTCDI-C13 as active semiconductors. Simulation was done using a model with physical aspects. We report good fitting of p-type and n-type parameters for the OTFT model and good results for DC transfer characteristics of the organic complementary inverter. The fitting of the parameters of the OTFT model is performed using an optimized parameter extraction technique which is using fuzzy logic to adjust the parameters to its optimal value.
